“We are at a breaking point in medicine where arts, spirituality and healing are coming together to produce a new multidimensional model for healthcare. Now arts intentional modalities are as powerful as clinical medical interventions.”

-Leland Kaiser, Author, Healthcare Futurist

The Future of Caring

These are extraordinary times. The global pandemic has brought an unprecedented level of stress and challenge to care providers and to our entire healthcare system. However, even before the pandemic, healthcare was struggling to find a way to bring more beauty, humanity and creative innovation to what had clearly become more of a ‘disease care” system than a healthcare system.  

• Customized environments where ambient music evokes discreet supportive emotional states, such as more peace and calm in surgical waiting rooms, or healing music for addressing those in pain .or recovering from surgery
• Deliberately delivered music and wisdom offerings for patients, family members, and care providers during major life transitions, for emotional and spiritual support, in recognition to the generative power of listening and reflection.
• Healthcare protocols that use music-based “pauses for presence” to align and unite team members before they evaluate and implement their many care strategies.
• “Rejuvenation Stations” where care providers and clients can efficiently experience music and images of nature to release stress, relieve burnout, realign purpose, and refuel the heart and soul.

Music is the universal language of emotion. When music is deliberately designed to promote healing, the listening experience affects us at the cellular level, benefitting our biochemistry, creating “heart-coherence,” and reducing the suffering associated with stress, pain, and trauma.  

Studies show that music can also enhance critical thinking, resilience, and compassion. Music is one of the most effective non-pharmacological interventions for restoring balance to body, heart, mind, and soul. 

Now is the Time for Arts in Health

It’s time to demonstrate how music can enhance 21st century healthcare systems. During this remarkable time of change, music can play a vital role in designing a “new normal” committed to innovative and comprehensive care.  

Over the past twenty years, more than a million people, including tens of thousands of healthcare providers, have come to trust Wisdom of the World Wellness products to support their vital work in serving others on the front lines of care. Find out how we can enhance your experience as a healthcare provider through our resources, retreats, and trainings.  

Caregiver Rejuvenation

Studies have shown that music and other immersive art forms applied to caregiver support enhances critical thinking, creative collaboration, problem-solving, and caregiver resilience.

Care for the Journey resources and programs were developed with a national advisory group of healthcare leaders. Since 2007, these offerings have helped thousands of care providers throughout North America alleviate burnout and rekindle their original sense of commitment to the healthcare field.

More than 100 major healthcare institutions use Care for the Journey audio tools  for training and more than 15,000 individual professional caregivers rely on them.  These resources are included with the Care for the Journey workshops and retreats.

Questions worth asking

• What if focusing on life-generating modalities that nourish us in emotional and spiritual ways – like music – could help us enhance the humane dimensions of care?

• What if music and sound modalities could broaden and deepen our view of the whole person, inspiring more inquiries into the true causes of illness, rather than a nearly consuming focus on removing symptoms through pharmaceuticals?

• What if music and sound-infused  modalities could help us to become more aware of the inherent link between the emotional, psychological, and psycho-spiritual components of our health, which we now know inextricably connected to the root causes of our health challenges? 

• And why is music such a powerful agent for health and wellness?
